Trump Thread

Personally, I believe this to be a less-likely scenario as of now, but since it looms over everything we might as well explore: are any of you here familiar with Philip Roth's The Plot Against America?

Basically, Charles Lindbergh runs against Roosevelt in 1940, wins, buddies up to Hitler, and an east-coast Jewish boy watches the unfolding of Nazi-lite in America. In the end, it turns out that Lindbergh only ran at the bidding of Hitler, who in fact was responsible for kidnapping Lindbergh's son a decade previously (now in the Hitler Youth), and the son's safety depended on Lindbergh's willingness to carry out Nazi-dictated policy.

I always thought that was a dumb plot twist, but, uh...

...

I just remembered the book, is all.

So you're saying Trump has a secret son (Donald J. Trump Junior II.) who has been kidnapped by Putin and is now serving in the VDV and that's why things are the way they are?

Bannon has been ousted. Some good news in this week of misery and despair.

Also heard something about how now Breitbart is going to turn on him for this or something. Eager to see how this turns out.

Means just another source of 'fake news' that dislikes the president.

Edit: Just checked Breitbart and see that Bannon is "Going to War for Trump" so I guess we'll just a more extreme polarization of Trump's base via Breitbart. Guess the narrative is going to be that Trump is being controlled by the deep state, globalists, and democrats instead of admitting that Trump is incompenent and not capable of carrying out any policies no matter if Democrat, Republican, neo-nationalist, etc...
What this I think means in the long run is a push to characterize Trumps inevitable future failures as not the responsibility of the Republicans in order to save them during the mid-term elections.

On the surface it sounds like the first story is that they "unleashed the Bannon" to fight the "good fight" for Trump. It's hilarious how he says he wants to fight the Goldman Sachs lobbying in the White House when Trump himself brought all these Goldman Sachs people onto his team. I guess Bannon and the others are the exception or whatever.

mixed media assessments today. Some think this gives Bannon a chance to fight the good fight and challenge Murdoch for king of the right wing media moguls, others suggest that Bannon will rue the efforts he made to instill a cult of personality on the shoulders of Trump.
